VARIETY’S TOP 10 SHOTS OF 2018 - #3: “Roma” dir. Alfonso Cuarón “The principle is you want to keep a unity of time and space and honour the emotion of real time, allowing the characters to flow in the space and giving as much weight to the character as to the environment. Here we had to manipulate the sun, because when you’re shooting digital, the highlights can clip very easily. After each take I would shoot the whole scene and do a pass with no actors three stops down to recover the information.” —director and DP, Alfonso Cuarón

INT. CINEMA. DAY. 

ROBBIE scrambles down a ladder and finds himself at the foot of a giant screen where the huge face, full of doomed melancholy, of Jean Gabin leans forward to kiss the shining lips of Michèle Morgan in Quai des Brumes. As Gabin kisses her a second time, ROBBIE, dwarfed by the enormous black-and-white image, buries his face in his hands.

In our first Spoiler Nation episode 0f 2018, Howie and Rhys break down the nominees in this year's major Oscar categories (14:05 onwards), and speculate on who WILL win, and discuss who we think SHOULD win.

Because, shocker, we're not in the voting bloc, our ideas as to who should win will likely not align with the reality of who will win come March 4, especially in a race as tight as this one. But rooting for one nominee, only for another to receive the honours, is all part of the peculiar fun of the Oscar season.    

But before all that, we give a brief a spoiler-free review of Best Picture/Director/Original Screenplay/Lead Actress/Supporting Actress contender, Greta Gerwig's directorial debut "Lady Bird".

Sometimes I think I have felt everything I’m ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I’m not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I’ve already felt. Her (2013) dir. Spike Jonze

“[Javier’s haircut] came from the wardrobe department. They found a photo of a guy in west Texas in 1979 who was just odd-looking, with that haircut. We wanted Chigurh to be believable for that place and period, but not like everybody else. That’s one reason we chose Javier Bardem. In the novel, it’s strange the degree to which Chigurh is withheld; he’s not described physically. Someone suggests he’s not of the region, which we took as licence to make him not even of the United States. So he’s kind of alien, an outsider” - Ethan Coen on Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh (No Country For Old Men, 2007)

The Double (2013)

Director - Richard Ayoade, Cinematography - Erik Wilson

“I don’t know how to be myself. It’s like I’m permanently outside myself. Like, like you could push your hands straight through me if you wanted to. And I can see the type of man I want to be versus the type of man I actually am and I know that I’m doing it but I’m incapable of what needs to be done. I’m like Pinocchio, a wooden boy. Not a real boy. And it kills me.”
